crutches.At_concerts，getting_on_stage_is_no_small_achievement_for_him.He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair.He lays his crutches on the floor，slowly undoes the clasps (扣环)on his legs，puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin(下巴)，nods to the conductor，and starts to play.One fall evening in 1995，while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City，Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.Jack Reimer，a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle，described the scene.“Just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that sound meant.”There was no mistaking what he had to do.People who were there said，“We figured he would have to get up.to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”But he didnt.Instead he waited a moment，closed his eyes，and then signaled the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off.He played with enthusiasm and power.Of course，it is important to play a symphonic work with just three strings.But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.You could see him modulate (调音)，change，recompose the piece in his head.At one point，it sounded like he was turning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.【语篇解读】本篇是人物故事，叙述了著名残疾人演奏家Perlman演出过程中发生的意外和他的应对措施。1What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?AIts a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.BIts not easy for Perlman to get on the stage.CPerlman has achieved great success on the stage.DPerlman has small achievements on the

teaching skills.CHer efforts to win a prize.DHer community background.【解析】细节理解题。根据Jane Addams下的第一句话Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank(任何一个受到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams)可知，在历史上，Jane Addams以她的社会工作而出名，与A项相符。文中未提及her teaching skills(她的教学技能)，只是谈到了promoting education(促进教育)，故B项与文章不符；Jane Addams获得了诺贝尔和平奖，但她不是因努力去获奖而出名的，根本上还是因为她做的社会工作，而且她也并非为了获奖才付出努力，故C项错误；是她的社会工作，以及她鼓励的社区感让她出名，D项Her community background.(她的社区背景)与此不相符。【答案】A5What was the reason for OConnors being rejected by the law

woman.可知，她没能在法律事务所找到工作，是因为她是一名女性，这与C项“对于女性的歧视”相符，故选C项；文中未提及她的经济状况，故D项错误。【答案】C6Who made a great contribution to the civilrights movement in the US.?AJane Addams.BRachel Carson.CSandra Day OConnor.DRosa Parks.【解析】细节理解题。根据Rosa Parks下的.it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.It lasted for more than a year，and kicked off the civilrights movement.可知，它导致了蒙哥马利巴士抵制运动，这场运动持续了一年多，开始了民权运动，故选D项，是Rosa

partnerships，while beneficial in many ways，are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience，pay levels and communication.In the last few years，a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment，attracted by its fastergrowing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese coworkers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment，”said Neng Zhao,28，a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital，a private firm based in Beijing.“We werent.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.“Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (persons working in similar positions)，” said Michael Norman，a senior vicepresident at Sibson Consulting，an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work.” said Ting Wang,25，an associate at Wild China，a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand，Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences，like Confucianism and Communism，which play a part in their countrys culture and economy.“It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust，”said Mr.Norman，who works on management and workforce issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.“In the West，there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly，but when you come to work in China，you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business，”he said.【语篇解读】越来越多的人到异国去工作，虽然存在差异，但是跨文化的工作伙伴关系变成了一种趋势。12More Americans go to China to take jobs because_.Athey want to experience different culturesBChinese workers are easier to cooperateCthey cant find
